This turned out great and I plan to use it in stead of cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving. I played with the recipe a lot though... I used fiji and granny smith apples, increased the water by 1 cup, added 2 tbsp orange juice along with the lemon juice and threw in a cinnamon stick from the start. After 30 minutes, I drained most of the liquid away to use as a cider (AWESOME!). I then added 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp more of cinnamon. I excluded the cardamom. The sauce is very flavorful and I will definitely be making this again.

I just made this recipe and I am definitely going to make it can it was sour and sweet and the two flavors combined together very well I would definitely recommend this! I would give it a three and a half if possible.

Very good, very easy...but WAY too sweet in my opinion. I would definitely cut the sugar in half or omit entirely, depending on apple variety. Have made it several times and last time I used about 1/3 pears, 2/3 apples (both free from our neighboring orchard) and it was great. Another wonderful way to enjoy Washington apples!

Great recipe, very simple and basic
ingredients. We have apple trees
(not even sure what kind but one is
likely McIntosh) and I used my own
apples. I also used half cherry
juice to give it more depth of
flavor, half brown sugar, and added raisins and cranberries toward the end because my husband likes them. Right out of the pot all warm and bubbling it was wonderful - the kind of thing you could keep spooning up for just a little bit more. I'm planning to freeze some to serve alongside cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving and my husband has already expressed his desire to have some over vanilla ice cream after dinner. Definitely a multi-tasking
applesauce!

This was a good recipe. I used brown sugar and added more cinnamon. I also made it in the pressure cooker which worked great. No mashing necessary as the apples sort of disintegrated into a slightly chunky sauce under pressure. If you like the chunks bigger and firmer, pressure cooker is not the way to go.

Loved it! Easy, delicious
and satisfying! I used
very tart Macintosh
apples, so I used a bit
more sugar, and I used
brown sugar because I
love the flavor. Didn't
have cardamom so I
substituted nutmeg. An
easy recipe to tailor to
your own taste, and I
love the chunkier
texture. It was a hit with
my roommates, too.
